2024 is dying and tomorrow a new year begins, 2025, which means an opportunity for millions of workers in Mexico to increase their salary, due to the adjustment that will be made to the increase in the minimum wage.
How much will it increase? Here more information:
It was the Council of Representatives of the National Minimum Wages Commission (Conasami) who reported that the general minimum wage will have an increase of 12 percent by 2025.
That is, the announced adjustment will cause the minimum wage to go from 248.93 pesos per day to 278.80 pesos per day. In the Northern Border Free Zone (ZLFN), the same percentage increase will be applied, which will bring the minimum wage to 419.88 pesos per day.
But it must be remembered that the increase will not only affect the general minimum wage, but also professional minimum wages, that correspond to a specific group of 61 professions, trades and special jobs.
